WHAT OUR STUDENTS SAY
When we moved here from South Carolina about 5 years ago, I was lost and didn’t have any friends. When I visited VRSM and was welcomed with a warm smile, I felt like I had found a second home. Christ has really changed my life through the meaningful discussions and wonderful community I have experienced at VRSM. It truly is a life-changing group!
I love VRSM because everyone there loves one another like family. The whole ministry is very inclusive and all the leaders are easy to talk to in times of struggle and are there to support you when you succeed. I have made some of my best friends through the ministry and also been able to watch each other grow in Christ and grow together, which has been one of my favorite things since joining the ministry!

VRSM has helped me grow spiritually by showing me what it’s like to love Jesus and love others, but also how to put that into practice by serving the community and laughing together. My relationship with Jesus would not be as strong as it is today without VRSM and the many people and leaders who have invested in me.
VRSM has shown me the purpose and joy found in having Godly community. Being able to walk alongside such a great group of people has made it easier to be bold and grow in my faith. The people here are so special and their love for the Lord is evident by how they love others and invite them into our student ministry. VRSM has taught me how to pursue a deeper faith and seek Christ above all other things.

Fall Grow Group Leader Training & Curriculum
We had a great Grow Group Leader Training on August 25, right after the Grow Group Fair. Recap videos are being sent out by email to leaders the week of August 26-30. For those who weren’t able to make it to the training, I’ve put together a series of videos to get you caught up on what we went over. It should take you about 25 minutes to go through the training and it will give you a great preview of the topics we’ll be covering in the sermons this fall, some coaching on how to navigate tricky conversations in your group, and more! Also, you can access PDF’s of the handouts, slides, and my outline used in the training HERE.
This fall, most of our groups have decided to use sermon-based curriculum. Leader guides will be posted below and emailed to all leaders by mid-week. If your group would like to explore other content options, just reach out to Amy Wilkins. We have some great options to recommend.

¿QUÉ ES UN GRUPO DE CRECIMIENTO?
Un Grupo de Crecimiento es un grupo de 10 a 20 personas que se reúnen cada semana para crecer y ser más como Jesús. Lo hacen enfocándose en tres cosas: 1) profundizar en la Palabra de Dios, 2) construir amistades verdaderas y 3) entrenar para nuestra misión.
¿CUÁNDO Y DÓNDE SE REÚNEN LOS GRUPOS GROW?
Los Grupos de Crecimiento se reúnen en varios momentos a lo largo de la semana, incluidos los domingos por la mañana y varias noches.
